As Paul Hartley explained in his introduction, it has been over two years since Yorkshire-based Rod Mason has appeared at the Railway and for this visit he brought with him both tenor and baritone saxes.
Although he played from a sitting position at the side of the stage, his high-energy approach made a big impact on the audience. I liked his choice of tunes - 12 in all - and I particularly liked the way he did that much played standard There Will Never Be Another You in 6/8 time. Another highspot was his treatment of Hank Mobley’s This I Dig Of You from Hank’s iconic album Soul Station. Drummer Dave Walsh shone on this number and together with Ken Marley on bass they made a first-rate rhythm team.
The next event at the Railway features harmonica player Robin Sunflower - Sunday Oct. 17 - 9:00pm-11:00pm. - Mike Farmer
